8.面试经验
申请学费资助者若通过第一轮筛选,将进行英文视频面试,今年的面试日期为4月25日至4月26日。前两年的面试方式有所不同,需前往北京面试,日期为4月23日至4月24日。
今年参加面试的申请者共有300+,所有面试者被分为8组,每一组有对应专业的专家评审进行面试。面试后有部分人被淘汰,但比例未公布。
面试的时长每人为10至20分钟,由三位专家评审轮流提问。由于是视频面试,网速很大程度影响了面试效果,有同组的小伙伴说整个面试都在sorry中度过。楼主的面试过程还算流畅,有两个专家主要问了专业问题,另一个问了交换经历。遇到的问题如下:
(1)Please introduce yourself to us briefly.
(2)How long did you study in the U.S. before? Which university did you study in? What courses did you choose?
(3)Did you work in the Beijing office or Shanghai office of xx law firm? What was your job?
(4)What did you do in xxx project?
(5)Could you explain xxx (a concept in my research proposal) to us? Why do you think it is important in international arbitration?
(6)Do you have a supervisor? What is his specialization? Can you tell us some of his publications?
(7)What is your career plan? Do you want to be a part-time or full-time arbitrator? Why?
(8)Tell me a funny story when you studied in the U.S. How did you overcome the cultural shock?
